Old Guy

Old Guy has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. 225 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Christoph Waltz sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Old Guy earns its spot. The jokes in Old Guy land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Stuck at a dead end but vying for the love of spunky club manager Anata, aging contract killer Danny Dolinski is thrilled when The Company pulls him back in the field, but only to train Gen Z newcomer Wihlborg, a prodigy assassin with an attitude. Christoph Waltz and Lucy Liu lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2024. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Old Guy holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Old Guy is a strong candidate. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Christoph Waltz anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
